Bedtime routine changed all of a sudden

Evening. So we have a little boy almost 8 months old. When he turned 6 months we worked really hard on establishing bed time routine. Was a struggle at times but in the last 3 weeks it's been great. We look for tiredness cues and then it's bath, story, twinkle twinkle and I walk out the room. Most of the nights in the last 3 weeks he is asleep within a couple of minutes. Worse case scenario he whinges for 5 -10 mins and then nods off. Since Sunday this has all gone out the window. We do everything as normal but when I lie him down to say goodnight he screams hysterically. Each night has taken about an hour to settle him and I've ended up having to rock him to sleep. Any ideas as to why this sudden change has happened. If he wakes in night he's quite good at self soothing and goes back to sleep unless hungry.

Sounds basic but could he be coming down with something? We often have a few days of unsettled bedtimes and/broken nights, and think it's all gone to pot, only for myself or other half to start feeling ill and realise (a bit too late!) that he'd been poorly.
There is SO much going around right now...

Teething starting? Mine gets like this and needs extra help to sleep then gets back to normal...
